We provide a range of services to our members, including:

• Presentation: An invited photographer hosts a presentation on a specific topic(s). Topics vary and can include anything related to photography including photographic genres, techniques, professional practice, computer skills, printing, etc.
• Competition: Members can submit up to 4 digital images and 6 printed images to each competition night. Competitions are judged by photographers from outside the club who have attended a NSW Federation of Camera Clubs Judging Course. Judges review and provide commentary on each image and give awards (worth points). The member with the highest number of award points over the year wins the print or digital ‘Competition’. See the Club’s internet page for competition information and rules (including the submission and preparation of images, also help sizing and naming images for competition is available).
• Critique: An opportunity for members to present images outside of a competition setting. The member chooses the purpose of presenting (e.g. review, critique, interest, information, etc).
• Photo 101: Members can request help or information on any photographic topic including basic and intermediate theory, camera settings and operation, computer processing, etc. Requests need be made in advance of the meeting. If of interest to a number of members this will be addressed in the main hall, otherwise separate instruction may be provided in a side room.
• Creativity Challenge (annual): Members are invited to submit 3 images and receive 3 different images in return. Members have a month to creatively modify and alter the images before presenting them at a club evening.

Although the main focus of the club is on physical meetings and outings, we also have a strong online presence. As well as this website, we are also on the social media sites facebook and Instagram. We use flickr as a place where members can post their images to share with the club. These sites are helpful in keeping members updated about club events and activities and providing members with places to share their images and interact outside of club meetings.

If you are already using any of these sites then the quick links below will help you to find us.
